Preparation of Salts
Chemistry ⇒ Acids, Bases, and Salts
Preparation of Salts starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Preparation of Salts.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
Describe how to prepare lead(II) sulfate in the laboratory.
Describe the difference between a normal salt and an acid salt, giving an example of each.
Describe the method to prepare sodium sulfate using sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.
Describe the process of preparing an insoluble salt using a precipitation reaction.
Describe the steps involved in preparing copper(II) sulfate crystals from copper(II) oxide and sulfuric acid.
Explain why excess base is added when preparing a salt from an insoluble base and an acid.
Explain why it is important to wash a precipitated salt with distilled water after filtration.
